I’ve done a session about Apps for Office together with Visual Studio 2013. This was a kind of follow-up session for “The New SharePoint Online Apps – Napa in Action” from Patrick Lamber. You can find my slide deck below.

The demo was around building a Wikipedia Task Pane app which leverages the Wikipedia API for searching Wikipedia. Below a screenshot of the Task Pane App for Office inside the Word 2013 (desktop) client.

Once the app was done it’s deployed to Windows Azure via a Web Deploy package and the XML manifest is made available to end-users to consume from the Corporate Catalog (hosted in SharePoint Online). After configuring the Office client the Corporate Catalog is available from within Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
